You need to analyze and filter the spam load, perhaps there is an "upstream"
who could handle that sort of thing for you, and take the spam load off the
LUGNET servers?

If the spammer finds they're causing delays this will inevitably lead to an
increasing spam load. You need to find a way to cut the spam source off
from the LUGNET servers completely.
I'd start by having IP blocking implemented at a point well before it
reaches the LUGNET servers themselves. If it's a known spam source, it
should definitely get blocked off.
You also need to further chase up spam sources, by having them taken down
where possible, by the owning ISP.
Cheers ...
